Senate Oversight Chairman Ed McBroom and Sen. Jeff Irwin demand MDOC discuss long shifts, staff shortages and inmate safety at facilities across Michigan. Irwin highlights Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility where chronic turnover and 24 hour shifts endanger staff and inmates while COVID-19 adds pressure amid 5,905 officer infections and 28,800 inmate cases nationwide. The department cites no forced 24 hour shifts, notes limited yard access, and points to ongoing recruitment amid a $255 million upgrade plan for the system.
